This movie by Luc Besson, based on a French novel, draws the story of a family that used to be part of the mob. Now protected by the FBI, they are trying to change their way of living by moving to a little village in France. Therefore, each one of them has to integrate and try to act normally, as if they were never in the Mafia. But old habits die hard, and to quote the movie - "asking politely with a gun in your hand is better than asking politely with nothing" (Al Capone).

The family of mobsters cannot help it: even if the FBI has forbidden the father (Robert De Niro) to leave the house, he still finds a way to sneak out. And while the mother (Michelle Pfeiffer) is shopping for supplies, she ends up setting fire to the supermarket. It goes without saying that their kids (Dianna Agron - John D'Leo) will also struggle to stay out of trouble in high-school.

For how long can they stay locked up, put up the nice act and hide their true identity? Soon their ennemies will find them, and escaping their destiny will become harder than they had planned.

Malavita, also known as The Family, has a captivating screenplay and a lovely cast. The best scenes are the ones where the family tries to integrate and start from scratch, trying to forget about their former mobsters instincts.
